Got it, thx!

Is it a 2GB problem?

I dont tink is a 2gb problem more of a memory leak . I can see on my second monitor and G15 screen how the memory keps going up from 1500mb to 1850+ as the maps change or the game goes on

Wait, you have 32-bit! Weird. One of the first posters mentioned it was a 64-bit problem, guess not. I've tried EA, to get them to fix it, but nothing. I've also written a nVidia bug report. I suggest you do the same, maybe the bugs with more problems are fixed first.

Good luck! I read something in the release notes about BF2, don't remember what, though! :D

new drivers and 1hour + of play and no crash on the same map only once I use alt+tap to stop a slowdown i was on 1855mb of use of ram and the game was geting slow or chopy :captnkill:

[ikjadoon]

Yet another note. I haven't experienced any slow downs, minus the usual server lag. :confused:

I got a memory error again at 1.45 time of play. im going to leave my computer runing memtester for a minimum of 12.00 hours just in case:thinker:

[uxmal]

i forgot to mention im runing the game at max setings and 8x antialiasing
1680X1050 resolution and on nvdia control panel

anisotropic filtering=16x
antialiasing-gamma correction=on
antialiasing-mode=enhance the application setting
antialiasing-setting=8xQ
antialiasing-transparency=supersampling
conformant texture clamp=off
error reporting=on
extension limit=on
force mipmaps=trilinear
multi-display/mix-gpu acceleration=multiple diplay performance mode
texturefiltering-anisontropic sample optimization=off
texture filtering-negative LOD bias=allow
texture filtering-Quality=High quality
texture filtering-trilinear optimization=off
threaded optimization=on
triple buffering=on
vertical sync=use the 3d application setting

[ikjadoon]

That is close what I'm running, I'm just at 8x AA instead of 8xQ. Maybe one or two other things are different, I'm not sure. I'll have to check.

Yeah, I ran MemTest a while ago, ran all night w/o a single error.

I finish memtester on 16:24 hours and no errors so memory is out off the question:thumbdwn:

[uxmal]

~Ibrahim~ can you run the game on the same settings as i have. to see if you can get the memory error ? please thanks:captnkill:

[ikjadoon]

Ouch! Sorry, it's a bad time. I just sent my OPC in for repair, this being one of the issues they'd look at. I'll see if they can cook anything up!

[ikjadoon]

I got a message from them telling me that they are fairly certain it crashed for me was because of a dual-core affinity issue and possibly Dreamscene as well.

~Ibrahim~

[uxmal]

do you know a fix for the dual core affinity issue ??

[ikjadoon]

You can do it manually by going into Task Manger, selecting the process, right clicking, selecting 'Set Affinity', selecting CPU0 only.

Or just use this (http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/05/28/getting_more_bang_out_of_your_dual_processing_buck/).
